Stuttgart - The smart vision EQ fortwo provides a
new vision of urban mobility and individualised,
highly flexible, totally efficient local public
transport: the autonomous concept vehicle picks up
its passengers directly from their chosen location.
New individualisation options help users to
recognise that it is "their" vehicle: by means of
the Black Panel Grille at the front as well as large
projection surfaces at the sides, the smart vision
EQ fortwo allows unprecedented individualisation of
the vehicle, ideal for car sharing. Freed from the
task of driving, the passengers are able to relax in
the large interior.

The show car is the first vehicle from the Daimler
Group to take the logical step of dispensing with a
steering wheel and pedals.

The smart vision EQ fortwo is also a car in which
all of the individual fields of expertise that make up the CASE
corporate strategy are combined, allowing users in the city
intuitive access to individual mobility. CASE stands for the
strategic pillars of connectivity (Connected), autonomous
driving (Autonomous), flexible use (Shared & Services) and
electric drive systems (Electric).

With the electrically powered smart vision EQ
fortwo, smart is presenting a concept vehicle from
the relatively recent product and technology brand
EQ at the 2017 Frankfurt International Motor Show.
More than ten new electric cars are set to go into
series production at Mercedes-Benz Cars by 2022,
from the smart to the large SUV. smart took the
first step back in 2007 with the smart electric
drive and today optionally offers all its models
with an electric powertrain.

"The smart vision EQ fortwo is our vision of future
urban mobility; it is the most radical car sharing
concept car of all: fully autonomous, with maximum
communication capabilities, friendly,
comprehensively personalisable and, of course,
electric," says smart CEO Annette Winkler. "With the
smart vision EQ fortwo, we are giving a face to the
themes with which Mercedes-Benz Cars describes the
vision of future mobility within the CASE strategy."
